The Fog 1980 ( filming location ) John Carpenter

[@jpm4444]

One of the most underrated horror films of all time; so awesome

[@christopherhirt2831]

100% agree. Still watch it from time-to-time. Classic.

[@eleftheriaeleftheria3302]

"The Fog" (1980) is the best horror movie ever made! Hello from Athens Greece!

[@wolfgangboettcher3126]

Ja ich habe auch gefummelt um es zu Finden

[@seanatkinson770]

Great call.

[@FLICKOFF1000]

I liked how you superimposed yourself behind Adrienne.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

One of most favorite horror movies ( I'm a 1968er ). You did a great job. Superbe!

[@hughmcwilliams1509]

what a classic and coming from good old northern Ireland I watched this as a kid and still watch it today so haunting.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

Hugh McWilliams It is a great film.

[@j.vi-geant6784]

It's a Halloween classic must-watch.

[@ThisisDanBell]

Speechless! What an amazing job!

[@philw9436]

probably THE most atmospheric movie ever made .. for a fan like me, this is just great !!I was afraid this fan tribute would ruin the mystery of the movie ... but no, this is just amazing !!nice job ! thank you..

[@chris7574]

The coziest horror movie ever.

[@j.vi-geant6784]

This was great but it makes me want to see the whole movie again. Thanks for doing a split screen.

[@llothar68]

One of my favorite movies, shame on the remake.

[@kidda74]

+Lothar Scholz never bothered watching the remake, no point! :)

[@freddie26123]

+Lothar Scholz the remake is... shit.

[@randywoodworth4028]

Yeah the remake sucked donkey balls.

[@freddie26123]

Randy Woodworth yes.

[@halloweenjunkie7035]

I agree on both points! The remake was garbage of the highest order. A complete slap in the face to the amazing original.

[@joeygoodwin9629]

I've seen this many times before, but since the film is celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year, I wanted to. You did a great job with this, man! I do have to add, your improvisation during the scene where Andy's bedroom door is being broken down made burst into laughter "Don't break the door! I have a deposit, I'm renting!" That literally sounds like a line somebody would say in an actual horror comedy flick!

[@dickiea8048]

Love this ❤️ What a beautiful location. Goosebumps 🙌

[@wolfgangboettcher3126]

Pleas take IT easy

[@fouroverseven7799]

Was recently in Point Reyes and was not aware some of The Fog was filmed there. Thanks for making your video and your awesome sense of humor.

[@kathyhatlevig1076]

One of the best movie made. John Carpenter is awesome!

[@NONAME-xk2tw]

Herve - 07:41 is the most profound comparison for me. It's identical, if only for the growth of the trees over 30 plus years. The video was 2012 , so it's probably virtually the same in 2016. this was a lot of work and professionally done. Thank you. BTW, it's a beautiful part of the coast and seems just as unoccupied as it was back in 1979. beautiful shots. so reminiscent of 'The Birds" too. the location must have been Carpenter's inspiration. it's a good one.

[@rosstafford855]

PENNY PINGLETON that is some shot, a work of art

[@SeanCC]

What a great trip that must have been! Good job. One of my favorite Carpenter films and when I visited NoCal I couldn't help but think about this film. The scenery is so important to this film.

[@kingv911]

Pretty impressive you were able to get the owners of Mrs. Kobritz's house let you in and record their belongings. When my wife and I went to San Francisco on vacation last year we had to drive up to see the lighthouse, and just happened to see Mrs. Kobritz's house along the way! Didn't have the guts to do more than just take a picture from the end of the driveway.

[@kingv911]

Grumpy Cat Point Reyes National Seashore by Inverness, CA. Beautiful drive up highway 1.

[@scottfulmer4414]

Great job - Point Reyes is one of my favorite places to go for a day trip. I always think of The Fog when I travel through Inverness, the Point Reyes peninsula, and Point Reyes Station. They are beautiful locations - yet there does seem to be something strangely eerie out there that you just can't put your finger on!

[@TayInTheWay]

Well done. I enjoyed this very much. Some call Halloween Carpenter’s masterpiece, and while it’s undeniably a great film, I actually prefer this - for its atmosphere.

[@micoforion5308]

cheers for posting this, fog is one my favorite 80s films.

[@MissBriannaNicole]

i respect your dedication to lining up all of the shots!! awesome job

[@Wild1995]

Thanks for posting. So freaking cool. I hope someday to visit that lighthouse.

[@111danish111]

1:32 this video is so old there are still a couple of payphones left.

[@astraton2001]

Just awesome. Well done. Love this movie. Good to see nearly all places are still like in the movie. Would really like to live in that Lighthouse.

[@kevintooroian8957]

It must have been a lot of work finding all those locations. I have to say I’m very jealous. Hope to make it there someday. Excellent job. I enjoyed every bit of it.

[@wolfgangboettcher3126]

[@JanRaz1955]

This was such a great idea, love this old movie from the past

[@JOSEFSWORLD]

Good work! I have visited two times the Lighthouse at the Point Reyes and had listen the soundtrack of the movie with the headphone.

[@chrisevans5259]

Superb work Herve , very impressive how you show then and now on split screen, enjoyed it immensely, the fog is one my favorite films, love the work by john carpenter

[@petevonstettina8627]

Epic work!!! John always had a way of making a film look bigger than it was with his angles

[@rgrndu]

Awesome. The Fog is one of my favorite horror movies.

[@johnnyjohn8073]

I think I was about 8 years old when this movie came out...it's still a great movie. Congratulations on this nice compare & contrast with the movie clips and on how the locations looked in current times in April 2012. Now 2020, I'm sure not much has changed in the scenery. I'm a southern California native & have always lived here. I've always wanted to take a long drive all along the California coast to sight see all the Spanish Mission constructed by the Conquistadors. Now I will add onto my sight seeing trip, a visit to as many light houses as I could possibly visit all along the California coast. A driving trip that I'm saving for my 1989 Mustang 5.0 convertible, all black on black minus the ridiculous red stripe around the bump guards, on a newly rebuilt engine that should finish this coming weekend.

[@temetnosce6192]

Unbelievable :-) Thank you for your journeys.

[@ottooctavius4308]

This is actually kinda amazing. Nice work.

[@TheTigersbay]

Work of art 👍🏻 .

[@spunkhead]

the mere fact that this was filmed almost 10 years ago makes me fucking shed a tear........love this shit.....thank you......

[@chunkyfreaky]

I just realized, the guy in the church at the stairs in the very beginning is John Carpenter {with long hair} turning off all the lights.

[@songsforscripts9423]

Yes, and John's co-writer and producer on the film, Debra Hill, was an uncredited extra as well. - Brian McFadden, author "The Real Woman Behind Halloween," Debra Hill.

[@alphasurfer]

very well done, my siblings and I grew up loving this film! I'm sharing this with them all! Thanks so much

[@Olmi31]

Absolutely amazing!! Congratulations on your work are wonderful! Thanks from Italy!

Outstanding Job, Herve Attia !!! One of the best movies Ive ever seen. I like the music very much too! Simple but ingenious!

[@itsonlycapnkirk]

Excellent video, well done

[@rickw1100]

Fascinating! Loved the film! You did a great job matching up the locations! Thanks for posting this!

[@tommyzDad]

What timing! I just caught this again on NetFlix!! Thank you, Herve.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

A lot of hard work went into this and it's fascinating considering I was a huge fan of this movie since I was a kid and now can't wait to watch the movie again.

[@princealarming85]

I was just at most of these locations in Point Reyes, Inverness, and Bodega Bay a few days ago on April 21st. The comparisons are so spot on, and it was amazing to see inside of Stevie Wayne's house after it's been remodeled a bit.

[@boccaccioboyer1140]

Dude, you kicked ass when you did this, One of my favorite horror films!

[@kalmiopsis]

I been in West marin and point reyes 30 years and this is awesome!!!! watched the fog like 100 times at least. u the man!

[@KEFJLF]

ABSOLUTELY, 100%, GREAT !!!!!! MY MOST FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME.....THANKS, FISH

[@davidarmitage289]

Awesome job!! Thanks so much from all of us that loved this movie!!

[@bionikball75]

GREAT GREAT video. Thanks for taking the time and show us fans what things looks like and how very little it has changed. Cheers!

[@IphoneEM]

easily the best subscription on youtube. outstanding research and execution. love every film.

[@daveparker3939]

Just watched this again (one of my faves!!) - and then found this. Excellent! Somebody should do something like this for every movie that has nice location photography. Like the Hitchcock movies filmed in the same areas.

[@lotharseeger6549]

Fantastic and awesome Job you did. In all of your Videos. I am a little bit enviours. Because its a looong way from Berlin to all these locations . But to look at these ( in german i would say " hammermässig") created Videos makes me feel like i am right there. Thanks so much

[@MichaelR0007]

Fantastic job on this! Really a great classic and you brought it back to life! Thanks for uploading!

[@aubiejazz]

Makes me want to watch the film, again! Great Work!!!

[@jeffdarnell3154]

Great job Herve!! You made this both enjoyable and quite humorous...👍👍👍

[@Flexicon9]

Awesome... love this movie and seeing the locations in modern day is so cool. Carpenter ROCKS.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Fantastic job! Amazing you were able to track down, and get access to so many of these places. And the way you edited this together with sounds and music from the film were superb.

[@fraserthomson5766]

Superb video! Bravo for lining up the exact filming spots. Would be nice to visit this town one day. Thank you. Hope you didn't lose your deposit on the dasha, those ghost pirates can really be annoying!!

Wonderful work doing this! I'm blown away by how little everything has changed in 40 years

This is very well made! I enjoyed it very much, thank you so much for making it!😊

[@ganimed1976]

Thank you so much for this. I love the Movie and it's awesome to see how the former filming locations look today. Great work :)

[@hugostiglitz4215]

The impending doom, I love the build up..knowing something wicked is coming. Forever one of my favorites. check out Stephen King's Storm of the Century, that's another great film.

[@corpclarke]

This was one of the first horror films I watched as a child. My mum had it on VHS. Awesome to see how the place has barely changed.

[@scottjo63]

The location was part of the reason JC's The Fog is my 3rd fav. horror movie of all time. (1st is orginal Dawn Of The Dead, 2nd Phatasm). The music, the set up, characters but mainly that location and the way it was filmed.. You just want to live there, work at the music station whatever, and that JC's music fitted that location perfectly. Such a beautiful place and the perfect horror movie. Also, the dock was where The Birds was filmed.

[@fraserthomson5766]

Really, I knew that the church was in LA, but no idea the marina was from the birds! Why on earth did JC go all that way for a minor scene?

[@James-hx5dw]

I love this! One of my all time favourite films and you have done it so well.

[@sp-cf2lo]

As always,...great work Herve...

[@miekelgabriel7929]

Movie was filmed in the area of Point Reyes north of SAN Francisco. I was there last year and yes.....those stairs are tough especially when walking back from the light house. One even has to walk about a half mile just to get to those steps from the car parking areas. It's all a protected area too. No public access without permission.

[@lerobeelalmaalaire]

I love it! Thank you for this gem!

[@curlyfry4418]

Interesting....@ 5:37 - 5:50 ....it still looks the same nothing has been built which is rare. I luv that house @ dock level.

[@mitchg7809]

Was this location also used in the Birds (when Tippie Hedron is driving to Badega Bay?)

[@EQOAnostalgia]

The Vision Bleak made a fantastic song about this.

[@FlyingSharpshooter]

EQOAnostalgia i Heard it, thanks😉

[@1badjesus]

very well done. your editing and shots were spot on!

[@supermanguy1214]

Scariest soundtrack I've ever heard. This and Halloween. John Carpenter is the best, man.

[@EmmaCroft73]

Thank you Herve. That was an awesome video 😃

[@MikeTheTeacher]

Very Cool! I always wondered how 'modernized' the area became, I'm glad to see those gorgeous roads and sights arent filled with condos.

[@miguelrodriguez-ht3ct]

one the most iconic movies all time, I like the ingenious idea to film the current an old locations, some 80's locations looks more modern tha 30 years on the future

[@BugarJones]

For a film-geek like me, I can't tell you how awesome this is!! :D

[@FlambeauxLaveau]

This is amazing. You're a genius. Thank you!!!

[@seanatkinson770]

Fabulous work Herve.

[@Peaceforallmankind67]

Well done sir!

[@teresah.6696]

Wow....this town has not changed or built practically anything in 35 years

[@nicholasdickens2801]

It's nice when something doesn't change. It feels like they got it right :)

[@hugostiglitz4215]

what I love about films like these is you never see a douchebag on a cell phone. I swear to God Society has been ruined by cell phones. John Carpenter is a master, one of the best scenes was when the camera pans up and shows the dark Shore with the sound of the Wind. John Carpenter is a details guy, awesome movie

[@teresah.6696]

+Hugo Stiglitz .....lol.....I know, people and cell phones suck at times.... if ALL cell phones and text messaging failed for 48 to 76 hours, I think half of the world would probably commit suicide!!!

[@hugostiglitz4215]

Terry H. Cell phones make people look stupid, they're always staring at a phone no matter where they are. When I'm in public I put my phone in my pocket. It really has changed Society for the worse

[@mikefiore2259]

My son and I love this place and visit every year. John told me that he still has his property in Inverness, but that it burned down in 95. As it put to me "paradise" Greetings from West Marin John, if you see this.

[@markgarman7615]

Thanks that was a fun memory. I grow up in that area and never knew it was filmed locally.

[@firstnamelastname8060]

I agree with anyone who thinks this is a very very underrated movie. It is my favorite horror film. I watch it every Halloween night. I also live not too far from the lighthouse. This is just a few miles South of where Hitchcock's "The Birds" was filmed.

[@5litreho]

Another masterpiece!!! Thanks Herve....

[@dantanna3161]

thank u so much. my fav movie of all time and dreamed of doing what u did. thank u so much . love it . carpenter is a master

Excellent work, really!!! I wish I could be there. Absolutely great. For something like this, KZbin was made. I wish I could give 500 thumbs up! Greetings from Germany :)

I'm coming out to the San Francisco area in September for vacation, I'm planning on camping and hiking in that area, I'll definitely have to visit the lighthouse and some of the other locations. Great horror film, nobody created an atmosphere for a movie like Carpenter.

So true, he did Halloween & this within 23 months, can you believe that. Escape from NY in the next year, The Thing 11 months after & Christine early 83. Talkabout a busy man, Starman in 84.

[@danmo43]

The professional touches of your videos is wonderfully amazing. Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work!

[@Methadone4Life]

Wow,some of these locations have hardly changed at all...great.

[@TPDClophill]

Now that is impressive. Love your dedication to the film, that's an old favourite of mine too.

[@windymoore4009]

They spent a lot of time looking for just the right locations for the movie. I've been to most of them being from California, but never made it up to the lighthouse. The dock scene was in Bodega Bay in front of the restaurant which I had been to many times back in the 80's and early 90's. This was the best spook movie of all times for me. Liked it much more than the hack up stuff. Halloween couldn't come close to The Fog.

[@seaglasskaz6314]

Absolutely brilliant 👏
